RED.HEADED GIRLS.
Why \ White Horse Invariably Appears
When They Are Seen.


According to the Macon Telegraph, the
| discussion over the alleged simultaneous
appearance upon the streets of white
horses and red headed girls has reached q
point in the West that reminds one of the
days of the 10, Il, 10 puzzle, the chestnut
bell and the ''punch conductor" song. The
superstition is neatly hit off by Kansas
paper as follows:
"Whosoever says so is a liar" roared q
eholeric old gentleman from Dexter, stand
ing in front of the city hall. ''These
stories are got up to play upon the credulity
of country people. Pm getting tired"
"Look there now," he shouted, "there's
\ red-headed girl; red-headed till you
can't rest. Where's any white horse? just
as easy as rollin' off'n log to prove the
originator of the fad liar. l don't be.
iieve there's a white horse within a mile"
But CHANGING to gaze in the direction OF
the High school a hearse was seen, to
which, not one, but two milk-white steeds
were hitched. The Dexter man tainted.
To this may be added that columns have
been written explanatory of the white
horse coincidence without satisfying the
public.
Possibly the reason why when red
headed girl appears on the street white
horse soon makss his appearance will
have to be sought for in history. This
suggestion is thrown out for what it is
worth: Away back in the early Greek
and Egyptian days red-headed girls We're
very justly priced above all the members
of the sex. Men fought, bled and died
for their smiles and they were quite the
rage. Cleopatra herself, we are told, was
the possessor of an auburn head, and
Helen Of Troy, some contend, was equally
fortunate. AS is well known, the belief in
the transmigration Of souls was then
philosophy, and conspicuously brave men
killed in battle took the forms, under the
smiles of Jupiter, of white horses. We
can imagine then that when gallant
knights went forth to battle after passion
ate adieus to their auburn-haire Helens
and Cleopatras, and found themselves, aft
Ell fierce conflict with the barbarians,
prancing steeds with snow fianks, that
memory Of their lost loves dwelt i'll their
equine heads. 1t may be that these fell
lows in the shape of white horses are still
following red-headed girls around. OF
course, in this prosaic age, no live journal
has time to argue such a proposition, but
the folks who believe that there are more
things in heaven and earth than are
dreamed of in our philosophy, HoratiO,
can amuse themselves with the suggestion,
Nobody will deny that the white horse is
IN animal Of taste.

made tonight upon the life of Representative
George S. Bailey, labor member from East ST
Louis. by some unknown person. Mr.. Bailey
was returning to his boarding house, and was
in the act of stepping upon the porch leading to
the door when he fired upon by person
who was concealed behind the corner of the
house. The revolver used was a thirty-two cal

overcoat. piercing a morocco covered memoran-

lodging in book similar to the one pierced by
the ball. Mr.. Bailey says he has theory con-
cerning the shooting. The fact of his having
been one of the parties to a resolution condemn

acting as pail bearers at Mrs Neebe's funeral is
attributed BY some as cause for the shooting.

The Growth of Reyivalisln.

FEW Express.
Revivalism, or, it is more usually
called, evangelism, is growing factor in the life
OF all our churches. The recent resignation of
DR.. Pentecost from the pastorate of Con erega-
tonal church in Brooklyn. in order to devote his
whole time to revival work is sign of the same
movement Every great Protestant church N
America now relies largely extra meetings
and special services, conducted by professional
revivalists, evangelIsts missioners, or whatever
they are called. for its growth in grace and in
numbers. Whether this is due to recognition
OF the failure of ordinary ecclesiastical methods
to reach the masses, or is an indication of more
consuming hunger for souls" on the part of our
Protestant Christians, it is, at all events, in
teresting phenomenon, and an increasingly pow
erful influence In American thought and life.
